Summary

Prairie Rose Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 489 students in grades K-5 in Dickinson, North Dakota. Over the past several years, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 14th out of 46 North Dakota elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 42nd out of 50 in 2023-2024.

One key challenge for Prairie Rose Elementary is its consistently higher chronic absenteeism rates compared to the Dickinson 1 district and state averages. In 2024-2025, the school had a 20% chronic absenteeism rate, while the district and state averages were both 20%. Additionally, the school's test scores in both math and reading have generally lagged behind the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's percentage of students proficient or better in math was 50%, compared to 41% for both the district and state. In reading, the school's proficiency rate was 38%, while the district and state were both at 40%. The school's higher rate of economic disadvantage, with 35.99% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, may contribute to these academic and attendance challenges.

When comparing Prairie Rose Elementary to other elementary schools in the Dickinson 1 district, some interesting patterns emerge. For instance, Jefferson Elementary and Roosevelt Elementary have consistently higher statewide rankings and better academic performance than Prairie Rose. These schools may serve as models for best practices that could be implemented at Prairie Rose to address its challenges.

IMPORTANT NOTE: North Dakota does not publish exact assessment percentages; instead, results are reported as ranges (e.g., 20-29%) to protect student privacy in smaller groups. The proficiency rates displayed on SchoolDigger are calculated using midpoint imputation—the center value of each reported range. Actual values may differ by up to 5 percentage points from the figures shown.

SchoolDigger data sources: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Census Bureau and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

About North Dakota Assessment Data: To protect student privacy, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction reports assessment results as percentage ranges rather than exact values. SchoolDigger calculates proficiency rates using midpoint imputation, which uses the center value of each reported range. For example, a reported range of 20-29% is represented as 24.5%. As a result, the proficiency rates shown may vary by approximately ±5 percentage points from actual values. This variance is most significant for individual grade/subject combinations and diminishes when data is aggregated across multiple grades or subjects.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not all boundaries are included. We make every effort to ensure that boundaries are up-to-date. But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only.
